Purpose Mobile telephone and public safety systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to carry voice and data traffic. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distributed antenna system (DAS). Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data. An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends on the coverage requirements of the DAS. Extension Units can be connected to Remote Units to provide coverage for further bands. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The Master Unit is the connection to the Base Transceiver Stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. 2.2. ION-U High Power Remote and Extension Units The ION-U is an optical fiber based DAS system that efficiently takes the outputs of multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) sectors and converts those RF signals to optical to send them over fiber optic cables to Remote Units to provide coverage in indoor and outdoor locations. The system supports both low power and high power Remote Units and SISO and MIMO operation. The ION-U EU H 7P/80-85P/17(E)P/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Extension Unit used in conjunction with a Remote Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports up to five frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 800/850 MHz, and 1900 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. It has been specifically tested and optimized for GMSK, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS, HSPA+, LTE, and OFDM modulations. Furthermore it is provisioned for future modulation scheme evolutions. These Remote and Extension Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and end-to-end auto leveling. Page 14 Users Manual for ION-U 3. Functional Description 3. Functional Description figure 3-1 ION-U High Power EU block diagram In the Downlink (DL) path, the Extension Unit provides:

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of each converted signal to compensate for optical losses RF amplification of the converted RF signal for transmission while maintaining an excellent signal-to-noise ratio RF filtering to reject spurious emissions In the Uplink (UL) path, the Extension Unit provides:

RF amplification to boost the signals received by the antennas to maintain an excellent signal-to-noise ratio RF filtering to reject spurious emissions Automatic Level Control (ALC) to adjust the RF signal level to meet blocking requirements Users Manual for ION-U Page 15 4.

All occurring alarms can be checked via software at the Master Unit. As soon as the software acknowledges a valid alarm, a message is transmitted to the Master Unit. If the reason for the alarm has been cleared or if the alarm should continue, a new alarm message will not be repeated. If there was an interruption of at least five seconds after acknowledgement, a new alarm message will be generated. 5.2. Troubleshooting The status of the Extension Unit can be checked via the Master Unit (for details please refer to the ION-U Site Manager software manual). Locally, the status can be checked at the LED. 5.3. Status LED Alarms For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the Extension Unit provides a visual indication of possible reasons for alarms. The color of the LED indicates the severity of the alarm. Detailed alarm information is available through the ION-U software interface. Status LED Indication Green Possible on-site measures No alarm Status ok Alarms Red Hardware failure Status LED off Mains the EU Reboot the EU via SM software or reboot by shortly interrupting mains supply.

Note:

The Extension Unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. We recommend checking the cleanliness of the unit and in particular of the heat sink / fan(s) at appropriate intervals depending on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site. If necessary, any dusty or dirty areas /

parts should be cleaned at regular intervals, which also depend on the degree of dust and dirt at the installation site. Maintenance of the ION-U High Power Eus should be performed by replacing only components that are described in this chapter. In order to maintain the warranty, avoid unintentional damage to the seals on the modules. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CommScope, CommScopes general limited product warranty (http://www.commscope.com/Resources/Warranties/) shall be the warranty governing the Extension Units, including the installation, maintenance, usage and operation of the Extension Units. Note:

When sending back the unit, use appropriate packaging. Use of the original packaging for shipping the unit is strongly recommended. Defective parts should only be replaced by original parts from the supplier. All service work performed inside the housing is performed at the users own risk. Ensure the Extension Unit has been disconnected from mains power during maintenance. Label any unlabelled cables before disconnecting them to ensure correct reconnection. Note:

Note:

For most maintenance procedures, appropriate tools are required to ensure correct handling. All of these tools can be ordered from the supplier. Note:

All Extension Unit screws have a right-hand thread, and are tightened by turning the screws clockwise and loosened by turning them counter-

clockwise with an appropriate tool. Due to the design of the Extension Unit, the fan unit is the only component that should be replaced in the field. Please contact the supplier for replacement of any other components. Page 42 Users Manual for ION-U 6. Maintenance 6.2. Replacing the Fan Unit Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure. Only when an alarm indicates a malfunctioning of a fan, must the unit be exchanged. Note:

Please observe that the fan unit can only be replaced as a whole. Do not remove the fans separately. Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety as well as the instructions in chapter 6.1 General before starting with the replacement. 1. Switch off the Extension Unit. Make sure that mains power is disconnected for the following replacement procedure. Then, proceed as follows:

2. Unscrew the four Pan-head screws

(two at each side of the cabinet) and remove the fan cover. 3. Unscrew and disconnect the fan connector and unscrew the four Pan-

head screws the fan plate is fastened to the cabinet. Take out the fan unit, replace it by the new one, fasten the four Pan-head screws for the fan unit, re-connect fan connector and mount the cover to the cabinet. the Fan connector Users Manual for ION-U Page 43 6. Maintenance 6.3. Cleaning the Heat Sink Note:

Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety as well as the instructions in chapter 6.1 General before starting with the replacement procedure. Then, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the Extension Unit. Make sure that mains power is disconnected for the following procedure. 2.
